Anything I should know? 2 Years, 11 Months ago
|

Finally broke down and ordered a different air cleaner assy (Max Air) and it should be here early next week. So is there anything I should be careful with or watch out for when pulling the carb to change out the jetting? Delicate parts, jet propelled parts, etc? |

There's a 3% chance you will be able to get all 4 float bowl screws out without wrecking any of them. Have a needle nose vise grips handy. Or use a dremel to cut a slot in the head for a flat blade screw driver. After you get them all out take one with you to ACE hardware and get 4 stainless allen head screws. When you take the top of the carb off to get to the needle be careful not to tear or puncture the diaphram. To get to the needle you need to pull a plug out that is down in a hole in the slide. Be very careful pulling the plug out and putting it back in. If you break one of the ears off the slide that holds the plug in you have problems. There is also a small spring down in there that can get lost easily when you take the plug out. Take it apart over a towel so no pieces will bounce away if they do get loose on you. It's easy to mess up the float level so don't be surprised if you need to set it after you are done. |

Yup...they're made of Play Doh, too...very soft. Once you get them out, go to the hardware store and get some hex head bolts (M4 or M5, I don't recall) to replace them--you'll be glad you did.

nother tip I use is rap the top of your screwdriver with a hammer (lightly) before turning the screw and she comes out easy everytime.
AND Ditto on replacing with allens

I used a cordless impact wrench (driver) on the bowl screws.....came right out. A regular cordless drill might do the same if it has a dial to adjust the torque.
Check the thread on "Maxair float inst. contradictory"....don't be worried. You made a good choice!
The Max kit comes w/ new allen screws btw  |
